SSS Medical Fourth Issue

November 2008 was the date of the SSS big editorial event which is the release of the
4th issue of the SSS scientific magazine ‘’SSS medical’’.
It was about liver diseases & hepatitis viruses especially viruses B&C. We chose November to release it as SSS was participating in organising of the Egyptian Liver diseases forum.

57357 visits

A series of visits to the 57357 hospital are being conducted in the SSS currently. Each visit holds more and more memories than the one that preceeds! These visits give the chance to medical students to stay in touch with their humane sides and nourish them! This project is amongst the most popular in the SSS currently.

First Aid

How could a doctor not know the basics of First Aid is simply beyond me! If you want to be a good doctor and master the skills of first aid, join this project now!
The team members will first take training about first aid, mastering its skills. Then, the team members will be explaining the basics to school children. Yes, in this day and age even children require basic knowledge of first aid!
Want to learn how to give injections?
Don't know how to stop a bleeding nose?
Don't know what to do when you see a person swimming on the verge of drowning?
If so, then join the First Aid Team, coordinated by Ramy Hassan and organized by Alaa Hamdi and Zeinab-Josie (for contact details, check the SCOPH Activities post)..

World AIDS Celebration!!

Successfully over, the WAC was yet another milestone in the SSS history.. Thanks to Louay and Juju, and of course all the team members who worked so hard on perfecting this day, it was indeed a blast... Noknok introduced the concept of selling known brand food products on our very own Kasr Al Ainy, which was not only a milestone for the SSS, but also for our faculty..

All I could say now is: Great Job! You guys did it..

This is what we were all expecting from our dear SSSians. You all proved that you don't only have the ability to organize perfect conferences, but also the spirit of a true SSSian!

A little about the conference:

نظمت الجمعية العلمية الطلابية بقصر العينى أمس المؤتمر القومى الأول للاحتفال باليوم العالمى للايدز تحت رعاية صندوق الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة الايدز والاتحاد الفدرالى الدولى لطلبة الطب بمصر ومعامل المدينة . حضر المؤتمر لفيف من أساتذة الطب بمصر وطلبة من كل كليات الطب بمصر و ممثلو صندوق الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة الايدز ووزارة الصحة. يهدف المؤتمر إلى نشر الوعى بين طلبة الطب في كل محافظات مصر عن خطورة هذا المرض وكيفية الوقاية منه ومواجهته وأساليب معاملة مريض الإيدز الذى يحتاج رعاية وعناية أكثر من أى مريض آخر. وقد تمت مناقشة أحدث طرق العلاج لهذا المرض و طرق نشر الوعى بين طلبة الجامعات المصرية. وتعد هذه هى المرة الأولى التى يتم فيها تنظيم حدث مثل هذا على مستوى قومى، وقد حاز تنظيم الجمعية الطلابية بقصر العينى على إعجاب جميع الحاضرين. المؤتمر أقيم تحت شعار "طلبة الطب ينشرون الوعى" حيث أن الخوف الدائم من التعامل مع مريض الإيدز هو الذى يدفع المريض للانعزال والابتعاد عن المجتمع الذى يتسبب فى تدهور حالته وهذا لم يكن أبداً الهدف

I have nothing more to say but, this was only the beginning ;)..
